They should add a DLC to continue game after completing first but I guess not. Stinks when you complete the game and then cant play again, can only create a new account. On FO3 my first ever account was at the Purifier the end and all my saves was in the purifier not knowing you couldn't play after completing and so I had to make a new account because of it. At the time I didn't know about Brotherhood of Steel DLC and so soon after making like 6 other accounts and getting them to level 20 I got bored and got the DLC to continue.

Anyways, what I am saying is they should really make a DLC for that soon instead of doing all the other DLCs then the last one be the one to continue like they did for FO3.

They won't do a DLC for continuation. :mellow:

Why not ?

Well, I see why now. The main point was just to kill benny who shot you but then you got into Mr House and his jobs so I guess I see why. Btw, how do you know they wont?

To me it would be impossible to have a continuation like Broken Steel in Fallout 3. Not with all the endings and the 4 different main quest storylines.

IIRC they've stated it in interviews and previews and stuff pre-release.

I just thought of something Ulysses I don't think he will be in Dead Money but what if he was in there how sick would that be.

No lies I thought the place sounds EXACTLY like bioshock D:
Change a few words and locations and you got yourself a bioshock DLC for falloutnv (reminds me of Avatar and Pocahontas). Can't really complain though because I love bioshock.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone creates a mod eventually that will let you continue past the ending. It was done for Fallout 3 before Broken Steel was released. I just wonder though if the ending of Fallout NV disables the side quests. I know a lot of the quests would become moot, but not all of them. Plus before all is said and done there will probably be some nice quest mods that will most likely have no relation to the main quest and could continue just fine after the MQ is completed.

Its too bad the days of full-fledged expansion packs (for games other than The Sims 3 that is) seem to be dying out (I was actually very pleasantly surprised when Dragon Age Awakening was released for the simple fact that it was a real expansion pack PLUS there were a few large DLCs for the game). DLC is fun, but its only an appetizer. A great expansion pack to this game could be something similar to Tales of the Sword Coast for Baldur's Gate 1. An expansion that not only lets the game continue on, but also adds a great deal many more side quests and areas, all having nothing at all to do with the MQ (except for some possible recognition by NPCs if you have already completed it).

I do love this game a lot, its a ton of fun, but its got to be THE most linear Bethesda related Gamebryo game I have ever played. Still not a very linear game, but compared to Fallout 3 and certainly compared to Morrowind and Oblivion.

What the heck is going on this year? I've noticed that Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop have leaked their Black Friday advertising -- and there's nothing for PC users being advertised. Then Bethesda joins the movement with,

"November 17, 2010 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks?, a ZeniMax? Media company, today announced that Dead Money, the first downloadable content for Fallout?: New Vegas?, will be available exclusively on Xbox LIVE? for the Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from Microsoft beginning December 21, 2010."

Are manufacturers **trying** to wean us off of PCs entirely? Or are Micro$oft, Nintendo, et al paying them to NOT promote anything PC?

This whole entertainment genre started with PCs. Why are we being left behind and left out? Why is Bethesda supporting the trend?

A good and a bad thing at the same time. Good in that MCA really does know his job and likely produces us good gaming experiences, and bad in that he is confined withing such small products.

Not that it matters much but I'ld still like to contribute by saying that you console guys deserve a DLC first... though I wouldn't have gone with an Xbox exlusive but a console exlusive DLC.
It's only fair because us PC gamers have mods... just my 2 Legion Denarius though.

Because Micro$oft wants it this way. I don't know much about what Nintendo is doing in its attempt to compete with the PC as a gaming platform other than refusing to let Zelda and Mario games be ported to the PC (ancient news that no one cares about), but this is all Micro$oft's doing. Micro$oft doesn't want ANY PC content available for games that don't use GFWL. But you know what? If this is what it takes to keep GFWL the heck off of my games and to continue to have the benefits of Steam as DRM (including our ability to always DL a free back up copy of the game if we lose our disk and NOT having to have the disk in our PC to play it) over SecuROM with NO such benefits and plenty of problems and always HAVING to have the disk in our PC, then so be it. I would rather wait for the DLC. Micro$oft and Bethesda will NOT get my money for any non-PC related Fallout or Elder Scrolls product EVER again. Until now I always bought two copies of any Bethesda game, one for my PC and then later, one for my Xbox, but never ever again.



Why do they "deserve" it? PC gamers get screwed right and left these days when it comes to games and content. I think its only fair that we get the ability to mod our games. We simply thought that Bethesda was one of the last developers that had our backs. That is at least partly why we are so up in arms about it. Besides, why should we be punished because we choose to use the gaming platform that is conducive to modding? We all know the real reason here, and its all about Micro$oft's money. This is why even console users who use the PS3 are being screwed. Its not really about who has the better platform, or about who deserves the DLC the most. Xbox users are being favored simply because the console they use is put out by Micro$oft, Bethesda's new buddy that they are so overjoyed (according to Pete Hines) to be partnered up with. And this is what Micro$oft wants.

I still do't see the problem though, we have mods, and will eventually get the DLC too... but of course, it's all wrong for a company trying to make a few extra millions by going xbox exclusive for a few months.

*starts handing out tissues*

Not to mention we have the worst load times and the most bugs of all the platforms.

Its a matter of principle, which I already outlined in my previous post, and if their track record is any indication, it won't be just "a few months", it will be the better part of a year. I respect the fact that you do not share my viewpoint, but I stand by my convictions.



I don't recall using any sort of similar sarcasm with you in my response to your post. I would appreciate the same sort of courtesy and respect. Thanks.

I. WANT. RONNIE. TO. GO. WITH. ME.


I'd love to see her power punch elijah in the face for being an over teched [censored]......

Its very ironic to me that Micro$oft of all companies seems to be at THE forefront of trying to destroy the PC gaming industry. Its amazing how the richer some are, the more money they crave and the lengths they will go to get it.

I just never dreamed that Micro$oft would be one to attack PC gaming with such gusto.

I guess now that their near monopoly on the computer OS scene is so very much undisputed they want to monopolize the console scene, even at the expense of PC gamers.

So far I have seen absolutely no evidence that they meant it when they declared that they had a renewed commitment to PC gaming. Maybe their first steps in that direction can be to get Fable II and Alan Wake on PC. Especially since they promised to do as much with Alan Wake years ago but then reneged.

I guess the reason Microsoft is so invested in the gaming industry is that the PC market is very competetive, but the Console industry? You have the 'Three Families of Vegas' so to speak, Theres Sony with the PS3, a sleek, beautiful and well built machine, but very expensive (or at least it was when I bought mine a couple years ago), then you have the Wii, a system that apart from children and casual gamers and Nintendo fans, you dont see as much appeal in the heavy gamer crowds. Then you have the XBox 360, a system that functions appropriately, the RROD is continously becoming less of a problem, it's relatively affordable (Or so Im told) and offers alot of appeal to the hardcoe gaming/multiplayer crowds.

From the way I see it, Microsoft is trying to have a market they can have a monopoly over, and they figure the Gaming industry is less crowded. IMO they are the 'Gomorrah' of the 'Three Families' IE, shady and weasely, but everyone goes to them.

VERY good anology, but I still don't get why, in their effort to have the console monopoly, they want to actually destroy PC gaming. Its THE main reason I even have a PC and use their precious Windows.

As for the PS3, as wonderful as it is (my brother made the switch after his Xbox 360 conked out after only a few months. He has had his PS3 for over a year now and it works like a dream) I am still furious with Sony over SecuROM and how it wrecks my computer. I am gonna have to stick with PC gaming. I have my own Xbox 360 Elite, but the thing devours game disks if you accidentally tap it while a game is running.

I am tired of Bethesda doing this. I will probably not being playing the DLC just like I didn't for Fallout 3. I was done and got rid of the game before the DLC came out. I can't imagine them making more for selling it exclusively via XBox but whatever. I don't play that many games and bethesda, as much I have enjoyed thier games will be on the bottom of my list to get from now. In other words, I'm not too worried if I get another one of their games again. This is the third time and probably the last I will put up with this. I apologize but I really needed to vent.

I dont see why complain a this point, what done is done, (but im greedy too, so im not the indicated person to judge their actions)

While I empathize with your feelings on this, I have to ask why you get rid of games once you are done? Don't you ever feel like replaying them? I love replaying my games. Though I must admit that I am glad there are folks that sell their games when finished with them, because some of my games have been purchased used at nicely reduced prices. :goodjob:

Actually, this is one of the things I like best about PCs. When I get the upgraded model, I usually can still play my old games on it. Obviously the really super old games are harder to play, but there is always Dosbox and GOG.com.

Hopefully this will be released on disc at some point. This is seeing as the small village I'm in only has access to dial up.

from a locked thread redirected to this thread:



I, at least, won't be getting it due to Xbox exclusivity. I couldn't give a [censored] when it finally comes out for PS3s. I refuse to wait anymore with a held breath for gamesas to give PS3 players some equality in this, and now the Microsoft disease has spread to PCs, as well. I waited 8 months for Fallout 3's DLC and it came in an unpolished, clearly rushed, buggy form without a single patch or acknowledgement of the problems over a year later. They're not getting my money for this DLC, and I apologize to Obsidian as I know it isn't their call, but I've lost interest.

By the time the DLC is released for PC I've probably lost interest too.
